AASV Announces Student Seminar Participants for 2016

October 15, 2015 — AASV Staff

The AASV is pleased to announce the program for the Student Seminar at the 2016 AASV Annual Meeting in New Orleans, Louisiana. Fifty-five veterinary students from 16 universities submitted abstracts for consideration. A panel of three veterinarians representing private practice, industry, and academia reviewed and scored the abstracts to select 15 for oral presentation at the meeting. The panel also approved 40 abstracts for poster presentation. Zoetis, sponsor of the Student Seminar and Poster Session, provides a $750 travel stipend to each student selected to participate in the oral session and co-sponsors a $250 stipend for each poster presenter.

At the meeting, the students' oral presentations and written materials will be judged to determine the recipients of AASV Foundation scholarships ranging from $500 to $5000, funded by Elanco Animal Health and Zoetis. The Student Seminar will take place Sunday, February 28, from 1:00 to 5:15 pm, and the scholarship awards will be announced during the noon luncheon on Monday, February 29.
